Advanced Algorithms

Configurability capabilities currently exist at the labor and indirect cost levels to allow you to align to your organizational hierarchy or the mutually agreed upon work breakdown structure determined between you and your service provider(s). Oracle ClearTrial has become the platform that triggers contract negotiation discussions for complete alignment and transparency between both sides (sponsor, vendor) of the ecosystem.

Oracle ClearTrial 5.5 expands on existing user-defined algorithm building capabilities by allowing the configuration of multiple expressions with multiple cost drivers accessible per expression, per algorithm. This enhancement provides increased control and flexibility over how custom fees and costs are specified to align to their respective clinical trial scenario.

ClearTrial 5.5 also includes a new configurable assumption within each expression to apply a percentage of, per cost driver, per expression. This percentage will increase/decrease the number derived from the underlying assumption for the driver.

There may be ClearTrial-defined costs and fees included by default at a different level of granularity than those in which your organization needs or for your planned trial's budget. You can leverage the 5.5 advanced algorithm capabilities so that you can include those specific fees or costs in your budget, when you need them (on demand).
